After a disheartening experience at Toyota Cavendar Service Center, where they quoted an exorbitant $5,000 for what they deemed a battery replacement, I was at my wit's end. Their approach raised red flags and painted a clear picture of a lack of transparency. Eager for a second opinion and reluctant to dig into my savings based on a potentially dishonest assessment, I turned to the internet for help.Fortuitously, a Reddit post led me to Sam, a local hybrid specialist. As soon as I described the issue, Sam sprang into action. It was evident he had a genuine passion for his work, coupled with a deep understanding of hybrid vehicles. Instead of immediately suggesting a battery replacement, as Toyota had, Sam meticulously examined my car, identifying a filter under the seat that was in dire need of cleaning. He educated me about its significance—a crucial component I was previously unaware of.Not only did Sam restore my car's functionality, but he also prioritized imparting knowledge, ensuring I was well-versed with my vehicle's intricacies. His patience, expertise, and genuine desire to help were a breath of fresh air.Thanks to Sam, not only did I save a significant amount of money, but I also gained invaluable knowledge about my car. In an industry where honesty is a prized commodity, Sam shines as a beacon of integrity and skill. If you own a hybrid, I cannot recommend him enough.

I was surprised to see Sam’s google reviews and thought maybe he incentivized customers to leave a review. I was wrong, Sam never even mentioned it and all the reviews I read were accurate.I was quoted by North Park Toyota over $2,400, but Sam did the same job for 1/3rd of the price. Honest guy and went beyond the scope of work. I picked up my car and the engine bay had been cleaned, a pleasant surprise.Don’t hesitate to visit Sam with your hybrid needs.2010 Toyota Prius w/ 195k miles

This time he went over and above to help diagnose my problem. He’s patient and doesn’t mind explaining what he’s doing…if I could give him more stars I would!!! I definitely recommend him!Services: Electrical repair

Sam is the BEST! I am currently a college student and was struggling to find somewhere to fix my car at a reasonable price especially with my car being hybrid. Sam did an amazing job of fixing my car and communicating with me about what is exactly wrong with the car. He was honest, respectful and very professional. Will definitely be going back if my car has any problems :)Services: General repairs & maintenance

Do NOT go to this auto shop. The owner scammed me out of my perfectly functionally catalytic converter. Now, I'm faced with paying $3,000+ to repair the junk one he installed or buy a new car.

I was in San Antonio for a conference this week and my 2013 Prius started acting up on the 3-hour drive. Idling wildly and I thought it might be transmission related. I found Sam’s shop on google maps with impeccable reviews, so I decided to take my car the next day and see if something could be done. Let me tell you, Sam knows what he’s doing. He completed a full tune up within a day, and spent a significant amount of time with me explaining what he did, parts he replaced, and what I need to do to keep it clean and properly maintained. I drove the car home today, and not only is the idling fixed, I kid you not, gas mileage went from 38 to 48 mpg. Amazing. So thankful I found this guy at the right time, and for others leaving great reviews. He did a fantastic job for me, and knowing that I was not in the best position to negotiate he was honest, extremely helpful, and worked hard to fix the problem. One of the best customer service experiences ever for me.

Sam did an outstanding job! First of all I am very skeptical about any electrical work but Sam here at Sam's Auto Repair made sure that he fixed exactly what was needed. What did he fix for me? He fixed the combination meter in my 07' and its been weeks later and I have had 0 issues with his work! Will I recommend anyone to Sam? yes! Sam provided all around information on my 07 Prius just to make sure I felt like I was working with someone knowledgably in Hybrid Vehicles! Thank you again Sam. -J.R.Services: Electrical
